Brass Social
Once you’ve wrapped up time on the range, Brass Social is located right next door and is accessible from Next Level Ranges. It’s the perfect spot to relax, and grab lunch or dinner. If the range isn't for you, don’t worry anyone can grab a delicious bite to eat from this amazing restaurant.
With Locally Sourced Ingredients, the menu highlights local flavors from their beer to burgers. Their signature burgers are made with premium beef from local farms in Spencer County and you can definitely taste the difference. It’s fresh, flavorful, and Kentucky-proud. They also have 6 local beers rotating on tap that pair perfectly, or if your looking for a hand-crafted cocktail they have great options.
The food is of course amazing, but we also loved the atmosphere. It's clean, and feels like a neighborhood hangout. They also cater events held at Next Level Ranges and are involved in their community by participating in local events like Louisville burger week, Louisville Wing Week and the Gaslight festival.
Safety is always the top priority. For those enjoying both spaces, if you order alcohol at Brass Social, your ID is scanned, and you won’t be able to re-enter the range that day. It’s a thoughtful step that ensures everyone enjoys responsibly and keeps everyone safe.
